Quote streaming cuts arbitrary to some stocks in the middle of the day without warning!

You have to be careful with this. You may be looking at the screan and the info on a particular stock would not be updated for the last 15-20 minutes until you notice something is fishy. By then it could be too late if the stock went into a down draft in those last minutes.

Today on my screen both PNLK and DGIV stop updating. I checked with my brokers quote service and these two stocks are not being updated. Would anyoneelse check this to confirm? This just sucks since it makes me very uneasy about using this program. It does not feel reliable anymore. Like a kid playing tricks in a game where dollars are being lost and gained. Just watch out, that stock you are watching maybe showing a 45 min. old quote while others are perfectly streaming and updating.

I don't know if it was just coincidental, but today, after the initial problems were corrected, was the first morning in weeks there wasn't a lag in quotes for the first hour or so. If NAQ finally solved that problem, which in my opinion is by far their worst, I heartily congratulate them.
